The Women in Fire Training Exchange (WTREX) strives to
conquer challenges that women face in the world of wildland firefighting,
natural resources management, and conservation. The WTREX is a two-week
prescribed fire training event that will support female fire practitioners to
work boldly in leadership roles. During this event, women will be challenged to
display courage, tenacity, integrity, and resilience while functioning
proficiently in a variety of roles. WTREX will provide a safe and supportive
learning environment for women to strengthen their operational and leadership
skills.
Information about this training will be linked to the main
TREX page when it becomes available.
